Also, Monday the 8th is my BIRTHDAY! If you are feeling so kind/monetarily capable, I would really appreciate some birthday donations (see the gray button to the right). I finally have a real-world job, but it’s only part-time, and money is tight/stressful.

Maria is outside her dorm building, on a cell phone with her mother.
MARIA: Mom, I cannot BELIEVE you!
MARIA: What I mean is, you failed to inform the school that I’m trans. I know it makes dad “uncomfortable”, but this is beyond-

MARIA: Of COURSE that kind of thing matters, mom! I have a very bewildered, very MALE roommate. In a suite full of MEN. Where people use the MEN’S room. Because you didn’t think it was important to inform the school that I AM NOT A MAN.

MARIA: What??
MARIA: Do you realize what you’re suggesting? Besides being completely impractical and insulting, this is about my safety, mom…

MARIA: They will know I’m the same person, mom. I’m transgender, I’m not Clark Kent.
